Chestnut and Russet Soup

chestnut and russet soup

The days have gotten shorter, with early nights turning cooler and windows blurred out by the misty rain. 
I can't help but crave hot bowls of soup filled to the brim with delicious creamy concoctions.  Chestnut
and apples seem a perfect pair to cosy up and settle as chimneys turn smoky and stocking cover chilly
knees. The aromas of autumn can be conjured up from these two ingredients cooking slowly in your kitchen.
Not to mention baked apples also make for a beautiful dessert. So bake a few extra leather coats.
